Was Steve Tshwete a hired gun with no bullets?

I like sport and for weeks I have kept quite about my liking of sports because I have feared that within the euphoria that has gone on over the last few weeks about that team called the "Springboks". You see I call it that team because quite frankly from 1995 when I took notice of its existence it never appealed to me as a team worthy of representing this nation, when they flopped at the 1999 and 2003 World Cups I subsequently felt like it was a sign, more like the "broderbond" will realize that it was time for change, unfortunately this hasn't happened.

I am reminded of a time when minister of sport Steve Tshwete was dubbed "Mr Fix It" by the media, I had an inkling that our beloved ANC was finally recognizing the problem and were dealing with it head on, but need less to say "Mr Fix It" fixed jerk sh*t to this day we still waiting for the report on how it went with the qouta systems that he so glorious introduced and commissions of enquiries were set to work out what the real problems were and nothing has come off that either.
I could easily have let this slide you see but I got enraged when the current minister of sports minister Fikile "Razzmatazz" Mbalula (funny how their nicknames always tell you what they are in for)  told all and sundry that this team, with 90% white people is the reflection of our rugby and however who doesn't support it must basically go jump!

 Well this got me thinking that, if I voted for the ANC to mainly implement societal transformation, how can this politician tell me to go jump when he has conveniently forgotten his mandate as set out by me? How can for a trip to New Zealand he sell out 47 millions blacks and force feed them a team that is not reflective of their country? how can he sleep easy in business class on that flight for his ( I bet his taken his wife)  Kiwi jamboree take kind to the fact that there are still currie cup teams in the country that field 100% White teams? How can he claim that this is all good when there are stories of racism coming out of rugby fields and clubs across the country? how can he sign this off when in fact the Soweto Rugby Club is not allowed to win its matches in the Gauteng league purely because they are Black? How can he allow us to be duped by this mirage called Peter de Villiers who 3 years ago promised US a much more representative team and now he has forgotten color and only see rugby players? How come when we have to find a decent Black prop for the Springboks we have to cross the Limpopo and search Zimbabwe because the aren't dedicated training programs that allow our Black players to wear that green and gold in positions either than wing? Where is the Black mans BEE or AA in rugby because you have it in politics? Why is he signing off on rugby being a reconciliatory factor when it was never whole? How come he is not jumping up and down when Banyana Banyana, who are largely representative of our nation qualify for the Olympic games for the first time, yet he is a willing cheer leader not only for the Springboks but for the equally lilly white cricket and netball national teams?

But I quickly realize how minister "Razzmatazz" can do this, its because he is a member of the ANC and they are running riot messing up our country, the fact that the springboks jersey and merchandise is manufactured in China at a cost for job loses for black South Africans working in the textile industry is not a problem to him- because what is his cheer leading line again?

"Moer hulle bokke" feels like when P.W. Botha said it during apartheid!

Fact that there are no dedicated development programs in rural and township communities of our country spearheaded by our government contributes to the perpetual influx control of blacks in to former white sporting codes and the ANC as usual is the driving force behind these and this is not only in sports, its in everything, Banking , Mining, Health, Infrastructure development or Architecture and Engineering, there is a lot more of issues one can raise with the ANC on their inept and corrupt ways of handling the running our nation, its worse than an under-storked spaza shop in Phillipi!

So having had all these thoughts in my head, and as I walk past a beautifully (tender) built Steve Tshwete education complex in Zwelitsha, King Williams Town, I cant help but feel how this ANC politician who did nothing for our democratic emancipation is immortalized in our history(even with a whole municipality named in his memory), the people inside the walls speak of him each day when they describe where they work (hoping they do work, considering the state in which the ANC has allowed the education system in this province, its a mess that stinks like the veld if not the open bucket toilets our kids are made to use in schools) while no one in institutions speak of real african intellectuals and change drivers.

So Minister "Razzmatazz" while you are there jolting and kissing ass, please cross over to Australia and book Kylie Minogue for your sports awards concert next year because that what you do right? You are a fun guy, you bring "Razzmatazz" ask Brandy Norwood you even gave her an african name!

I wish the Springboks all the bad luck in New Zealand, I hope they get out of the World Cup as soon as the knock out stages begin, so that the Afrikaner Media can blame the black man Peter de Villiers and remind him that even if he doesn't see color they do and next time I hope SARU can get a white man as coach who would at least feel guilty that he didn't select the only on form Black rugby player in our country Lwazi Mvovo, who can assure Elton Jantjes that just because he had two off games doesn't make him a non springbok, who make all the injured white springbok players (who are all in new zealand) know that if you are injured you cant make the team let alone the plane to an international tournament, who can give all the Black kids who are playing other rugby positions hope that they don't have to play wing to be future Springboks after all 16 years since 1995 we have only 6 black South African players to speak off  that made an impact to this team and they all wings, in my opinion!

So to answer my question, Was Steve Tshwete a hired gun with no bullets? yes he was, some body needed to shut the Blacks up and he did, so what is Fikile Mbalula then? He is just disco lights in a crowded room providing the illusions that everyone is dancing, African revolutionaries know time will catch up with the ANC and they will soon be a memory not so nice to keep.
